Field and laboratory studies are essential components of undergraduate training in Environmental Science alongside transferable skills such as computing and study skills. Practical work must be fully understood and effectively presented, but many students under-perform as they aim to acquire complex skills across a range of disciplines with limited opportunities for practice.

Practical Skills in Environmental Science provides students with easy-to-read guidance for fieldwork, sampling, laboratory studies, project work and computing and communication skills, building on the strong reputation of the Practical Skills series as essential texts for those who wish to succeed.
  • Provides basic methodologies and guides students in the process of experimental design and project work
  • Text is supported by numerous illustrations, tables, tips and hints, worked examples and checklists
  • 46 boxes provide additional support, from step-by-step instructions on constructing a topographic cross-section from a map, to guidelines on issues to consider in an environmental impact assessment and a case study of assessment of the conservation status of a lake
  • Coverage of information technology throughout, with sections covering the Internet and World Wide Web, using spreadsheets and databases
  • Assistance with numeracy, including use of statistics and solving numerical problems
  • References to useful sources for further detail are provided in the text and via an associated Web site
